Something is very very wrong there. This is way too small for their age. Most of the care info for this species is wrong, and most breeders don't start them correctly. Also, they should never live as pairs. It is very stressful on both of them.

Here is the current and correct care info. Follow the advice in this sheet, and they should start to grow and thrive.

Stress causes stunting.
Pairs being kept together causes stress.
Can you provide photos of the enclosure, the lighting, and tell us the temperature of the enclosure?
And a list of foods you have been offering.
